Streetlights Break (version 2)

Verse 1

Streetlights shatter like the sky's on fire

Glass cuts gold against a dark blue wire

Sirens fade into the rhythm's hum

Somebody throws a flare and we become one

Chain-link shadow swallows half the block

Chest to chest where the speakers lock

Every face I knew from the old streets gone

Now we're running on the same low frequency alone

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing past my collarbone

Hold still, don't let go of me now

Something in the air is breaking loose tonight

I can feel it pulling us out into the light

Chorus

Streetlights break, we shine like stars

This is how we rise from where we are

Hands up high against a burning sky

Nothing here will ever hold us back again

Verse 2

Rooftops catch the glow of every car

Someone's laughing, I don't know who that is

Every window lit becomes a mirror ball

Reflections rising past them all

I see my name in someone else's paint

See our whole city change from out of frame

This ain't just music — this is breaking free

Nobody's watching us tonight the way we used to be

Pre-Chorus

Feel it climbing past my collarbone

Hold still, don't let go of me now

Something in the air is breaking loose tonight

I can feel it pulling us out into the light

Chorus

Streetlights break, we shine like stars

This is how we rise from where we are

Hands up high against a burning sky

Nothing here will ever hold us back again

Bridge

Maybe this was never just a corner block

Maybe every streetlight had a name it locked

I don't know what's breaking — I only know what breaks through

And that's the color of something turning blue

Chorus

Streetlights break, we shine like stars

This is how we rise from where we are

Hands up high against a burning sky

Nothing here will ever hold us back again
